I expect the cpu to be oversold as hell at that price... Also it's super old Xeon 5620 with openvz.
What does the "no support" part mean?
When your VPS becomes inoperable and you get sad, there will be no hugs.
That they don't offer a support service that answers your question on how to use FTP to upload your Joomla website.

In other words: they expect you to figure out how to fix a software related issue on your server.

That kind of support isn't offered by any VPS provider that's unmanaged. They don't call it "No Support", it's unmanaged.
Dedicated servers for cheaper: https://www.kimsufi.com
I'm confused how the 2 vcore/13€ is directly comparable to 8/$15. But I'm also not sure if the site I posted oversells the cpu cores since it doesn't specifically say so.
Kimsufi doesn't sell virtual cores, it sells CPUs and not only CPUs but specific CPUs specified upfront.

"8 CPU" as advertised by the VPS host could mean literally anything.

This is a terrible offer, very expensive for what you get.
No SSL? That reeks of competence.

They also have a "submit ticket" page, apparently. So the "no support" doesn't even mean "no support".

Choices for OS: Ubuntu 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.04, 15.10, 16.04, Fedora 15, Debian 8.

If you love to play with fire, host with them.

I believe that if your main selling/advertising point is "absolute no support unmanaged vps hosting", your pricing should be more agressive, specially compared to battle proven competitors like Digital Ocean and specially Linode.

I have Linode and for about 20 bucks I can get a straight 4GBs of ram and almost the same amount of disk space (80GBs vs your 100GBs). with much more monthly network transfer allowance.

So far I have not been able to find a better offer than contabo.com
Yes, their offers look much better, thank you! I only posted this site because these guys used to have a lot of funny marketing stuff around the "no support". Their other site nosupportlinuxhosting.com still has a lot of it though.

Here's the link if anyone doesn't want to copy paste yours: https://contabo.com/?show=vps

Oh whoops, should have mentioned I am and have never been affiliated with this service. I only posted this because I was a huge fan of http://www.nosupportlinuxhosting.com/, and I assumed the hn audience would respond more to the VPS offering. I think they may have changed a bit over the years, seems like the "no support = dirt cheap" may not be true anymore.
lol @ non over sold memory. no one ever over sells memory, it's always CPU and network that gets over sold.
Blatant ad, and not a very good one at that.
Wow, the VPS are hosted on "Server Grade Hardware", that's some great marketing.
